They lived on a farm in Northfield until the spring of 1874, when they moved on to a small farm which they had purchased in S.W. Winchester, N.H., and within a few years bought additional land, making quite a good sized farm. He was known far and near as a good farmer, very particular about his work and raising excellent crops, but he was still fond of peddling brooms, and whenever he could yet away from his farm work, he would take a trip up north, driving sometimes as far as Canada. He was known in North Hampton as the "Broom Merchant," and followed the trade more or less until he was more than seventy-seven years of age. His last years were passed quietly at the old homestead, working on the farm some and taking frequent walks to the neighbors' - sometimes a mile or two over the hills - where he was always a welcome visitor. | Baker, Arad Stebbins (I14424)

| 5386 | from "The Stebbins Genealogy" by Ralph Stebbins Greenlee, 1904 (archive.org) CHARLES STEBBINS BAKER began life on the home farm, helping his father, until he was twenty-one, after which he worked several years for some of the largest farmers in the vicinity of Northampton, Mass. He spent some time during the winters canvassing in New Hampshire, Massachusetts and Vermont, where he met with good success. He purchased the old homestead, and later bought a piece of land adjoining the same. He has been moderately successful in various lines, such as dairying, poultry raising, market gardening, etc. Near the close of the war of the rebellion, the President issued a call for volunteers, and MR. STEBBINS, with two of his neighbors, volunteered to fill the quota; but, the war ending soon, they were not sent south. He had the honor of volunteering, but not the honor of fighting to preserve the Union. | Baker, Charles Stebbins (I25237)
